APPARATUS FOR ATOMIZING LIQUIDS FOR DESTROYING DISEASE IN GRAPE-VINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 424,680, dated April 1, 1890. Application led August 2, 1889. Serial No. 319.571x (No model.) Patented in France May 28, 1888, No.190,810. i

To caf/ZZ whom, t may concern:

Be it known that we, LUCIEN PIERRE LAs- MoLLEs and JEAN EMILE FRoHoU, of Nrac, Department of Lot-et-Garonne, France, have invented a new and Improved Apparatus for Atomizing Liquids for Destroying Disease in Grape-Vines, (for which Letters Patent have been obtained in France in the name of Lucien Pierre Lasmolles, dated May 28, 1888, No. 190,810,) of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention consists in an apparatus for atomizing liquids, constructed and arranged as hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention has for its object to provide an effective portable apparatus for atomizing liquids, and to that end comprises in its general features a frame, a liquid-chamber supported in the frame, and the various parts of the atomizer connected therewith.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a side elevation of the invention, partly broken away. Fig. 2 is a front View. Fig. 3 is a detail plan view of the regulator. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section of the same, and Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section of the atomizing-nozzle.

A is a wooden frame, which holds the glass cylinder or chamber B to contain the liquid to be atomized, which chamber may be covered with wicker-work, and is held in the frame by the band C thereof, the chamber resting on the base A. The band C extends from side to side of the shelllil e portion A2 of the frame A, and to the latter are secured hooks or catches D, which may be engaged with straps on a person carrying the apparatus hung on the back.

Upon the frame A is mounted the cylinder E of an air-pump, having a piston-rod F, operated by a lever mechanism G, connected with piston F by rods H. The rods H are connected with the lever-bar G and with the piston-rod F by means of lugs H which project from the extremities of the rods, and' which tit into mortises in such a way that when the rods are putin place they are firmly held by these shoulders and retain their position.

J is a metal tube mounted on the frame A by means of the bracket j and connecting with the cylinder E. The tube J is connected with the chamber B by means of a rubber tube K, passing through a stopper O in the receptacle and extending to the bottom of the latter. A second rubber tube K extends from the bottom of the receptacle B inside of the same, up through the stopper O, and is connected to a metallic tube L. The tube L is provided wit-h a stop-cock constructed as follows:

The tube L is formed with the enlargement L', having the shouldered ends L2. One side of the enlargement L is formed with an oblong cavity L3, in the wall of which is an opening Z2 and a larger opening Z2, the openings Z2 and Z3 communicating with the interior of tube L and being located on either side of a diaphragm Z, diverting the course of the passage-Way in tube L through the openings Z2 and Z3, as shown by the arrow in Fig. 4. This is effected by arubber tube Z4 drawn over the enlarged portion L of tube L and held in place by coiled springs P, encircling the shouldered ends L2. By this means the liquid passing through tube L will pass out of opening Z2 beneath rubber tube Z1l into opening Z3 and through the tube L to its mouth.

To stop the flow of liquid through tube L, a

cone-shaped knob M, mounted on the enten...

end of a swinging arm M, secured to tube L, is located adjacent to the outside of rubber tube Z4 and opposite the opening Z2, so as to be pressed against the rubber tube ZL and close the opening Z2. Theknob M is held in closed position by means of a ring m, encircling the tube L and arm h and sliding thereon to close the arm M toward tube L or to release it.

N indicates the atomizing-nozzle, which is constructed as follows: An eXteriorly-threaded cap n. is screwed into an interiorlythreaded ring N held on the outer end of tube L by a flange N2 on the ling N engaging a iange L4 on the tubo L. A packin grin g Lf is located between the inner end of cap n and the flange N2. The cap n is formed with an inwardly-pro jecting chamber n, having a bottom n', serv- IOO ing as a partition in the .passage of liquid. through the nozzle N, the chamber n forming, with the threaded sides of cap n, 'a passage-'Way or groove n2, and having openings n3, connecting the interior of chamber n Wit-h the interior of nozzle N, adjacent to the end of tube L.

The nozzle N is closed by a cap n, screwed onto the cap n and abutting against a packing-ring nl, bearing against a ilange u8 on the cap n. The cap n4 is provided with an opening m5 for the passage of a jet of atomized liquid.

Having thus fully described our invention, We claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. An atomizing apparatus for killing disease in grapefvines, comprising the frame A, provided With means for connection With a strap, the liquid-reservoir B, removably secured in the frame, an air-pump mounted on the frame, mechanism for operating' the pump,

- the pipe J, leading from the pump, Ithe tube K, leading from the pipeJ to the p reservoir,

nozzle N, substantiallyA as herein shown and described.

2. In an atomizer, a tube L, with flange L4 at its outer end, interiorly-threaded ring N with flange N2 engaging flange L4, the eX- teriorly-threaded cap n, engaging ring n and having a flange ns, inwardly-extending chamber n, With apertures n3 and passage-Way n2, and the cap n4, screwed onto cap fn, and llaving aperture m5, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that We claim the foregoing as our own We have hereunto affixed our signatures in presence of tWo Witnesses.
